Sydney doctor drugged and fondled woman

A senior Sydney doctor invited a woman who thought they would be discussing a job opportunity to his home before slipping a sedative into her wine and indecently assaulting her.

St George hospital oncologist John Henry Kearsley has pleaded guilty to drugging and assaulting the woman who came over for dinner in November 2013 to discuss, as she understood, a potential job opportunity.

The woman, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, told the Sydney District Court on Friday that her "world is broken and it will never be the same".

Emails between the two tendered to the court show the 63-year-old was planning a "seafood entree" and "lamb rack" on the balcony "overlooking the water and Anzac Bridge".

The agreed facts of the case say that after the entree, the woman went to the bathroom and on her return, found that Kearsley had poured her a glass of wine.

Kearsley maintained he had little memory of the events but accepted that at some point before they sat down for dinner he administered a sedative to the wine they were drinking, the document says.
